I hate to say it but that is kind of a loaded question... Really depends on how the person tunes your car.. how well they know how to tweak it to get the most out of the car. From the 13.6 I am guessing its a A4, and then if they adjusted shift points and cleaned up the AFR you could cut a couple tenths.. again it is how they tune you. IMHO, if you are planning for some bolt-ons, do it then.. save the $100 retune charge and use it towards a mod. If this is a M6... ignore everything above... just practice

Get your LT's, exhaust and intake done and then get her tuned. No point in tuning without all of those on her first.

Then get some heads and a cam and get the tune updated.

Or get them all done at once and tuned

If you want the best GTO tune in Ohio. It's in Medina at Back Street Performance.

Rich is a sponsor on BuckeyeGoats.com he gives discounts to it's members but I don't know what the current price first time price is. If your doing more then just a tune you'll probably get the best price though. ...and If you tell him Russ refered you you might even get a little better price. LOL

I'd have someone use HPTuner to reset your shift points if you plan on going to the drag strip. It's seriously not a good thing to keep banging your rev limiter.

Yeah, I agree with GTO1_OHio, find someone with HPtuners and have them change the shift points that will help.

It's one of the most widely used software applications (normally on a laptop) for tuning a car.
